But, should any of us consider a module that we wouldn't be able to get on a shop panel, or in a practical combination with other modules? How about a Matrix Mixer, for example? A Dual Schmitt Trigger? Does anyone have either?

just out of curiousity what makes you like the NTO?
Also I think the Triple Waveshaper is 3 VC waveshapers like what you
have in the NTO...
taking a sawtooth to a sine or a pulse. It's been a while since I
played with one but
you can get all sorts of interesting stuff out of it... a great
compliment to the VCM. You can feed just about anything into it (not
just a sawtooth)... just plug shit in and hear what it does!
